（2024·上海宝山·二模）For decades, people have guessed that artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually replace human workers. But developments in the past few years have 1 these concerns as companies have released AI that can answer questions, write articles and create images. Now, even people in creative fields must consider the 2 of AI replacing them. But many experts still insist that these AI programs are no substitute for human ability.
AI programs have the 3 to perform some tasks currently performed by human workers. These include media jobs, such as writing advertisements and articles, along with many jobs in the financial fields and even tech-related jobs such as computer programming. AI is good at 4 data, so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs 5 .
Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing. Perhaps AI will 6 less interesting work, allowing people to do more satisfying jobs, just as earlier technologies have. Using a machine to do laundry saves time 7 to washing clothes by hand, and many people use that extra time productively. 8 , AI may be able to take over dull tasks, liberating people to be truly creative, since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.
Another big challenge for AI is human 9 . Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines. Hence, AI is 10 to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection, such as counseling or teaching. A robot can perform tasks, but it cannot 11 care about others, and sometimes care is what people need.
AI can process data quickly, but it can only use data that it is given. So it cannot adapt to situations that 12 significantly from those in its data. Thus, although some AI programs can create content, none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will 13 consist of some combination of its sources.
Finally, if the AI receives false information, it has no way of recognizing that as false. Humans can also be fooled, but life experience can tell them whether a claim is reasonable, an ability that AI does not have. 14 , AI must continually be fact-checked to make sure its data, and therefore its conclusions, are accurate.
Thus, although AI may replace some jobs, others require a human 15 . At best AI may eliminate certain boring parts of tasks so that humans can focus on things that only they can
do.

（2024·上海宝山·二模）For decades, people have guessed that artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually replace human workers. But developments in the past few years have 1 these concerns as companies have released AI that can answer questions, write articles and create images. Now, even people in creative fields must consider the 2 of AI replacing them. But many experts still insist that these AI programs are no substitute for human ability.
AI programs have the 3 to perform some tasks currently performed by human workers. These include media jobs, such as writing advertisements and articles, along with many jobs in the financial fields and even tech-related jobs such as computer programming. AI is good at 4 data, so financial analysts and market research analysts may find their jobs 5 .
Using AI for certain tasks may be a good thing. Perhaps AI will 6 less interesting work, allowing people to do more satisfying jobs, just as earlier technologies have. Using a machine to do laundry saves time 7 to washing clothes by hand, and many people use that extra time productively. 8 , AI may be able to take over dull tasks, liberating people to be truly creative, since thinking up new ideas is something AI cannot do.
Another big challenge for AI is human 9 . Most people prefer to communicate with humans rather than machines. Hence, AI is 10 to replace humans for jobs that require personal connection, such as counseling or teaching. A robot can perform tasks, but it cannot 11 care about others, and sometimes care is what people need.
AI can process data quickly, but it can only use data that it is given. So it cannot adapt to situations that 12 significantly from those in its data. Thus, although some AI programs can create content, none of them can be truly creative as the content AI creates will 13 consist of some combination of its sources.
Finally, if the AI receives false information, it has no way of recognizing that as false. Humans can also be fooled, but life experience can tell them whether a claim is reasonable, an ability that AI does not have. 14 , AI must continually be fact-checked to make sure its data, and therefore its conclusions, are accurate.
Thus, although AI may replace some jobs, others require a human 15 . At best AI may eliminate certain boring parts of tasks so that humans can focus on things that only they can
do.

（2024·上海普陀·二模）Many of the world’s islands were previously unexplored places, but over time, people have come to these places with far-reaching effects, including deforestation, over-hunting and the introduction of invasive species. 206 , most of the bird species disappeared.
While the death of many birds since the 1500s has been 207 , our knowledge of the fate of species before this relies on fossils (化石), and these records are limited because birds’ lightweight bones are 208 over time. This conceals the true 209 of global extinctions.
Researchers now believe 1,430 bird species — almost 12 per cent — have died out over modern human history since around 130,000 years ago, with the vast majority of them becoming extinct directly or indirectly 210 human activity.
The study, led by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) and published in Nature Communications, used statistical modelling to 211 the undiscovered bird extinctions.
Lead author Dr Rob Cooke, an ecological modeler at UKCEH, says:“Our study demonstrates there has been a far higher 212 impact on diversity than previously recognized. Humans quickly destroyed bird populations through habitat loss, over-exploitation, and the introduction of rats, pigs, and dogs, which attacked the birds’ nests, and 213 with birds for food. We show that many species became extinct before written records and left no 214 , lost from history.”
Dr S ren Faurby of the University of Gothenburg, a co-author of the study, adds: “These historic extinctions have had a major impact on the current biodiversity crisis. The world may not only have lost many fascinating birds but also their varied 215 roles, which are likely to have included key functions such as pollination (授粉). This will have had knock-on effects on ecosystems, so, 216 bird extinctions, we will have lost a lot of plants and animals that 217 these species for survival.”
Observations and fossils show 640 bird species have been driven extinct — 90 per cent of these on islands 218 by people. These 219 from the iconic (标志性的) Dodo of Mauritius to the Great Auk of the North Atlantic to the lesser-known Saint Helena Giant Hoopoe. But the researchers estimate there have been further 790 unknown extinctions, meaning a total of 1,430 lost species — leaving just under 11,000 today. Therefore, from the perspective of protecting species 220 , the protection of birds is an urgent issue for mankind.
